Starting and Exiting Wwise

Wwise runs on Microsoft Windows® 7, 8, and 10, as well as macOS. To give you quick access to Wwise, the Wwise Launcher application manages all your Wwise installations and migrations. If you have yet to install Wwise, you will first need to click Download Wwise from the Audiokinetic website's download page, in order to install the Wwise Launcher. From there, installation of Wwise is as simple as clicking a big button specific to the desired Wwise version.
